  • "America's Sheriff" Wrote a Book About Traditional Values. His Phone Kept the Receipts.

    Mark Lamb branded himself "America's Sheriff," ran on God, Family, Freedom, and wrote a book called American Sheriff: Traditional Values in a Modern World. Then the Arizona Republic got his texts: laughing along to the n-word with a border vigilante, years of sexting, and a threat to have a woman arrested if she talked. Trump's endorsement? Still standing.

  • 28,000 Messages: The Young Republicans Group Chat That Praised Hitler

    Politico obtained 28,000 messages from a private Telegram chat run by Young Republican leaders in four states. Gas chamber jokes, Hitler praise, Black people called "the watermelon people." The Vice President called it kids being kids.

  • Full, Complete and Unconditional. On Night One, He Pardoned Every Last One of Them.

    Hours after taking the oath, Trump signed Proclamation 10887: fourteen commutations by name, a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" for roughly 1,500 others, and orders to dismiss every pending January 6 case with prejudice. The flag carrier, the "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt, the man who thought Hitler "should have finished the job," the seditious-conspiracy chairman serving 22 years... all of it, erased in one signature on night one. Eight days ago the incoming vice president said…

  • He Chose the Zip Code First. Ten People Were Buying Groceries.

    An eighteen-year-old drove more than three hours to Buffalo's East Side and murdered ten people at a Tops supermarket. He selected the store by searching for the zip code with the highest percentage of Black residents. The document he left cited the Great Replacement by name. A year earlier, the most-watched man in cable news had spent months telling three million viewers a tidier version of the same thing.

  • No One Had Ever Called Him That in Uniform. Today It Went Into the Congressional Record.

    Six months after the mob, the select committee held its first hearing today, and Officer Harry Dunn of the Capitol Police put January 6's vocabulary under oath. He told the crowd he had voted. A woman in a pink MAGA shirt turned to the others: "You hear that, guys?" Then came the word, from her, then from twenty people at once. In January we wrote that the flags told you what the day was. Today…

  • Texas Republican Senate Candidate Urges Border Residents To Shoot 'Wetbacks' On Sight

    Well, Republican Primary Season is upon us once again and nothing gets the truth out of GOP candidates quite like the mad dash to the right that they all do in order to please the base. Some candidates know exactly what their kind wants to hear and it leads some of them to drop the dog whistles and come straight out with it. Today we get to hear from Texas Republican Senate Candidate Chris Mapp…

  • Oklahoma GOP Leader Gets "Jewed Down" On A Price

    The Republican outreach to minorities continues! The new Republican party wants non-white citizens to understand that they aren't just the party of old, white guys. The GOP is now opening the tent wide for people of all creeds and colors. Continuing that effort, Oklahoma Republican House Majority Leader Dennis Johnson used his time during a floor debate to discuss effective strategies for small business owners. “There’s such a thing called niche marketing,” he began. “You…

  • Republican County Commissioner Says He Isn’t a Racist Because He Has a Black Friend

    Here we go again. Another old, white Republican elected official forgets that he's not among his cronies and utters another racist comment on the record. Republican Saline County Commissioner Jim Gile used the term "nigger-rigging" during a commission discussion about hiring an architect to work on a county building. County residents immediately started calling for his resignation which forced Mr. Gile to apologize. The Salina Journal, a local newspaper, reported the incident like this: In…

  • Republican Congressman Used to Hire 50 to 60 "Wetbacks" to Pick Tomatoes

    With it's recent "autopsy" and declarations of the necessity to re-brand itself to a more diverse set of voters, the Republican Party is just days into their campaign to put lipstick on their pig. They have no desire to change their positions on any of the policies that lost them the 2012 election, but they do want to stop saying what they think when other people can hear what they are saying. Reince Priebus, Chairman…

  • GOP Meltdown 2012: Mapping Racist Tweets from the Presidential Election

    Data-mapping experts from the Floating Sheep blog mapped geo-located Tweets containing racist language during the build-up to the US election. I'm sure the results will shock you. Concentrated racism in the South? No way! As a resident of Georgia and having watched the campaign as it affected my neighbors, my only surprise is that Georgia wasn't #1. I guess that's part of what makes Alabama and Mississippi such magical places! Click here for details and…
